Hello everyone! I am Jameka Jackson.
I am a junior pre-nursing major in the College of Education and Health Professions. I am from Little Rock, Ark. I attended Parkview Arts/Science Magnet High School where music was my focus. Going through the first couple of years of high school, I wasn't sure of exactly what I wanted to go to college and major in. Around my junior year I decided to do nursing because I really like to help people. In high school, I took basic science classes so I didn't think I would be prepared enough for college majoring in nursing. That year I attended Diversity Impact, which allowed me to make my final decision to come to the University of Arkansas. I wanted to go somewhere that I knew I would stand out and be able to achieve great things.
Being in the College of Education and Health Professions has allowed me to be a part of great things such as becoming a Student Ambassador for this college. I am involved in many other organizations and I take great pride in representing the university at the highest of my abilities. I believe that representing the university and COEHP as a Student Ambassador gives me the privilege of helping prospective college students. Also, I think it gives me the opportunity to help freshmen with tips on how to be successful in their college career.
As of right now, I don't have a set time for me to graduate because it just depends on when I am accepted into the nursing program. In the meantime, I plan to double major in health science. I think it's very important to have a backup plan when majoring in anything because sometimes things don't always turn out how you might want it to. Being prepared for the worst is very important because we can't always control how things go. But once I receive my degree, I plan to work as an RN and specialize in neonatal care, then hopefully return back to school and get my master's and become a nurse practitioner
